Why We Love Leighton Meester

Published Aug 11, 2011

She may play mean-girl-we-love Blair on Gossip Girl but Leighton Meester is nothing but smiles when it comes to showing off different hair and makeup trends. From blonde to brunette and back again, Leighton loves to experiment with bright lipsticks and knows how powerful a good smoky eye can be. Don't believe she's a beauty trendsetter? This is the gal who brought back the headband, remember?

Rosy cheeks and heavily-lined eyes look stunning against Leighton's super straight 'do. Her skin looks fresh and natural and she tones it down with a nude lip.
